... and round on both ends! that's right, redbeard is coming to ohio!! i will be at hocking hills state park on june 28 and 29, and would love to meet some local deviants (especially ~Sooper-Deviant (https://www.deviantart.com/sooper-deviant) ). hoping to get plenty of waterfall shots, and someone that knows the area would be helpful indeed! not much else to report right now, so here are a few of my favorites, followed by some words of wisdom.
